Lear Amanda The Sphinx Lyrics

The Sphinx Lyrics

I wish I could be like the king
Who said to his people: my friends
This it
now the end, if we loose the battle
We shall live forever.
The people of
the sun will remember this day,
And give us immortality
Long after I've
gone
Long after the sun.
I want to be like this king
But I can't stand
the pain, my friend
And I keep looking for all the faces I had
Before the
world began.
I've only known desire and my poor soul will burn
Into
eternal fire
And I can't even cry
A sphinx can never cry.
I am
standing in the sun
I wish that I could be
A silent sphinx
eternally.
I don't want any past
Only want things which cannot
last
And I can't even cry, though God knows how I try
A sphinx can never
cry, and sphinxes never die.
I'm famous or am I infamous?
It doesn't
matter much any more
Phony words of love or painfully truth
I've heard it
all before
Appraisal or critics and even politics,
A conversation
piece,
A woman or a priest,
It's all a point of view.
